IP precedence and DSCP values
Figure 26 ToS and DS fields
As shown in Figure 26, the ToS field in the IP header contains eight bits. The first three bits (0 to 2)
represent IP precedence from 0 to 7. According to RFC 2474, the ToS field is redefined as the
differentiated services (DS) field, where a DSCP value is represented by the first six bits (0 to 5) and is in
the range 0 to 63. The remaining two bits (6 and 7) are reserved.
